Green Goes the Cat Tran

Color the UA Cat Tran shuttles green. Parking & Transportation Services now fuel their diesel buses with environmentally friendly biodiesel. Last year, over 500,000 passengers rode the five routes on campus and the surrounding area, boarding at one of the nearly 50 stops (including five park-and-ride lots). The Cat Tran shuttle and Sun Tran U-pass program saved 4.9 million miles of automotive driving and these efficient alternatives cut the production of greenhouse gases in half – a reduction of 5 million pounds of pollutants. Because of Cat Tran and other UA alternative transportation programs, 44 percent of all trips to campus are environmentally friendly. That earned an "A" from the new national College Sustainability Report Card.
